Hello.

Thanks for the query.

Femilon is a brand name for a oral contraceptive pill containing Desogestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol.

Some of the side effects include inter menstrual spotting and post medication amenorrhea (failure to get periods after stopping the drug).

It is more possible in you, because you have been continuously using it for 3 years.

Do not panic. Please take a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy and if the problem persists please consult your gynaecologist immediately.

I hope I have answered your query and if there are no further doubts please accept my answer.

I wish you good health.

Regards.
